So it's been a few days...

since I last posted. I was totally consumed with the 2 weddings I had over the last 2 weekends and my 'social networking' took a hit.

So my instincts were right on with regard to the rain that was expected for 6/20. With the U.S. Open going on in Bethpage, it made finding a tent a little difficult, but I got it done! Although I had to use a company I wasn't that familiar with (Ace Tent), the end product was absolutely spectacular and the bride & groom loved it. And we needed it! Although it wasn't a monsoon, it was still raining come ceremony time. But we kept the back open so all of the guests could get a great view of the fountain at Carltun on the Park...it all felt very romantic and serene.

After the ceremony everyone was treated to a fabulous cocktail hour and dinner which included too many delicacies to mention...from the caviar to the sushi to the specialty vodka...it was amazing. While I had a very strong hand in managing the flow of the wedding and planned every detail down to a 'tee', I have to give tons of credit to The Carltun for doing such an outstanding job.

I was also worried about the Charter service I had arranged for NYC hotel guests coming to the Carltun because of the weather, the US Open, and nasty traffic one always finds on the Long Island Expy. The folks at Classic Transportation were so totally on point and the coaches arrived 15 minutes prior to the start of the ceremony...PERFECT!!!

All in all, it was a spectacular event. I had spent so much time with the bride, groom and their families (about a year and a half) planning everything and it's just very strange to not have my daily emails and phone calls with them. I put my heart and soul into their wedding, and I feel something is missing in my life right now. I guess I will have to wait for the pictures...

I still have a whole other wedding to discuss, but all this typing has me drained :-)
